Minister Sendeza wants killed daughter repatriated from USA for burial in Malawi
Deputy Minister of Defence Jean Sendeza has said she desperately wants the remains of her 29-year-old daughter reportedly shot dead on Friday in Indiana, USA by her sister’s boyfriend after she ended an affair, to be repatriated for burial in Malawi.
Sendeza said she has been formally informed by authorities in US about the death of her daughter, Noria, and injuries her other daughter, Mundi, sustained.
“The body is in the hands of police. They want to conduct postmortem and do their investigations before the body is released, but it’s my desire to have the body repatriated,” Sendeza said
The deputy minister says she has also advised her other daughter, Mundi, to return home.
Sendeza, who is also Malawi Congress Party (MCP) legislator for Lilongwe South West, said both were studying in US.
She said the daughter Mundi, who has survived, informed her about the irreconcilable differences she was having with the boyfriend a 37-year-old Kalekeni Lindeire, also a Malawian citizen about two weeks ago.
“When I learnt about these disagreements, I advised her to report the matter to police, and she did twice. She told me the boyfriend was abusive, could beat her up and all that. I didn’t like this,” Sendeza said.
South Bend Tribune, reported online that one woman was killed and another was wounded Friday afternoon as police were called to reports of shots fired near Hickory Village apartments and came upon a rollover car accident in a parking lot at Edison and Hickory roads.
Lindeire has since been arrested and is in police custody while the matter is being investigated.
condolences are in order to Hon Jean Sendeza. However, the tonse govt when in opposition was accusing DPP officials for sending their children abroad for studies. I think that was unfair bcoz as long as one has money can send his/her children abroad to study. We have many ppo who non politicians but have sent their children out for studies. Therefore, its a lesson learnt wosamangokhala ndi mtima wa chidani ndi anzathu ayi since the way i understand Jean Sendeza it does not mean she sent her children aborad when she entered govt no it shud be sometime before.

The guy is evil. Let him be prosecuted in Malawi. 37 years osakwatira bwanji and settle down bwanji?
Too many Guns in America. Guns end up even the hands of some lunatic Malawian
Sincere Condolences to the Deputy Minister JEAN SENDEZA and the entire deceased family. It is very sad moment to each one of us in Malawi. We are all expecting the body to be repatriated back home. We also want to know that is the killer going to be extradition proceedings. You cannot kill someone due to ending love affair and that is very nonsensical. Many of us have lived abroad and loved but did not kill them at all. I think it was his fortune to having been accepted. By the way where is the boy coming from in part… Read more »
That’s why I don’t trust these politicians. Ana awo ma school akunja nde angatukule ma phunziro I this country?
typical Malawian comment.
This is very sad. May Noriah’s soul rest in peace. Reporters, please learn to gather facts before writing stories. The two ladies are daughters of Jean Sendeza’s late brother Kondwani Sendeza. (May his soul rest in peace). Their mum is alive and in Mchinji
very true, The girls were nieces to JEAN not daughters. Kids of the late brother to Jean, Kondwani
If what you are saying is true why would the honorable come out in the paper to claim thats its her daughters. Never the less its very sad. I can only imagine what she is going through, be she mother or auntie..May the soul of the departed rest in eternal peace.
She has raised them as her own but biologically si ake. Anawatenga Ali ang’ono
Sorry Madam for the loss. Back home even at 40, very few have seen and touched a gun. Life doesn’t have to end that way.
Zonvetsa chisoni kwambili kutaya mwana munjira imenei. Pepani Mai wathu. Kaya abale amkului nde akunva bwanji Kaya. Wana wena kukula mopusa zedi
Beware of George Chaponda
Where is the connection? Can you shed more light?
inu muli ndi vuto george watani zikumukhudza bwanji tiyeni man tizingolira ndi umphawiwu basi
Do not put emphasis on the word ‘Minister’. She is speaking as a mother who has lost her daughter in a cruel way like any mother would do. I feel sorry for the family.
